Talk:Communism
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
The first paragraph appears to be non canon to me, only the first sentance is acceptable as a use of real world facts, I do not believe the slang for Communism was ever brough up. --TOSrules 08:10, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- Actually all three slang terms were used, two in the episode cited, the third one is cited at the page that links to it. --Alan del Beccio 12:18, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] moved from talk: Commie
Seems best if perhaps we merged this with Communism. This page isn't much more than a stub, and it will give the Communism page one more reference. --Alan del Beccio 01:09, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. --From Andoria with Love 10:18, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- Were any of such slangs ever used in the show itself? If not, I don't think we should have them here. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ubcphysicsyangbo (talk • contribs) .
- And guess what? We don't anymore. --TribbleFurSuit 03:13, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, TribbleFurSuit, what did you mean? :P Ubcphysicsyangbo 03:24, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- He means we don't have an article on it, and have not for a very long time. You responded to a two year old dead discussion when you opened this. --OuroborosCobra talk 03:44, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- Oh yeah I didn't realize the above post was so old. But what I really meant was I see the slang terms such as commies and reds on the page regarding Communism here on Memory Alpha. I was just wondering if those slang terms were EVER used in the show itself. If they weren't, shouldn't those terms be removed from the Communism page? And if they WERE used, we should put up some episode references. Ubcphysicsyangbo 16:30, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Removed
- It should be noted that the economic system used by the Federation has been interpreted as communism, however, it may also be a left-leaning socialism; in either case it is used in conjunction with a democratic political system.
No, it shouldn't be noted unless it was noted by production. Sounds like original research. — Morder 19:45, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
